This is so so so important! You are paying thousands of dollars a year to go to college so make it your number one priority! On top of that, you need to realize that you are no longer a student, and you won't be helping anyone if you still act like one. You will only be a year older than some of the students on the team that you are mentoring, and while it may seem natural to try and just be best friends with them, you need to remember that you are a mentor now and need to give yourself some distance if you want any respect.
